MG ZS EV Facelift - Have you ordered?

Dotnetter said:
I also ordered from Chorley. Did you call them or did they call you?

What spec/colour did you order and on what date if you don't mind me asking?

I was there having the 2nd year service on my Mk1 ZS EV and asked to speak to the sales staff, the chap I ordered the car through is off sick and has been for a couple of months apparently, the guy I spoke to said they told all his customers that delivery was pushed back to may, but I never got a call or an email from them. I have ordered a Black Trophy on the 2nd Nov.

Well, I've definitely not had any contact from Chorley.

@MilesperkWh - is this delay from MG something that can be covered in the next podcast?

I missed a call from one of the Chorley lads yesterday ( Tuesday ) hopefully I will speak to him on Friday now.
I will ask for an update on any delivery slippages, when I speak to him.

I would guess its either... your car is here, or your car is delayed until May! :D

To be fair, I receive a call from the sales person about once a month !.
Just a quick call to say hello and give us any updates on our order.
I have bought many cars over the years and have struggled to get my calls returned, if ever at all !.
This is my first dealings with the Chorley Group and so far the service has been really good !.
We have commended their service in writing.
I know my car has NOT arrived because I only want it AFTER the mad rush on the 1st of March.
But this is unlikely to happen now anyway, if the cars are delayed.
To be honest, we waited about four months for the original ZS EV to arrive, so it is looking very similar this time around !.
Due to the shortage of “Chips” the price of second hand cars ( especially EV’s ) are holding their values.
I do expect the dealer to standby their valuations on trade in value on the P/X cars.
Time will tell !.
 
My dealer has emailed today and said no change to original expected delivery of March but it could be earlier as they are 'quite flexible'

KIA showroom offered £24k trade in for my Kona.
Exchangemycar offered £24k (+nuisance calls and emails).
Justevs offered £25k.
Motorway offered £26k.
WeBuyAnyCar offered £27k.

Guess who I'm going with when I get a delivery date. :)
 
Ordered a Trophy Connect in red - expected April. I wondered if anyone had any news of the accessory for vehicle to load. I cannot find any details of this including cost.

Its not been announced yet, though its thought to cost around £200 - £250 for the V2L adapter.
 
I ordered the Trophy in Battersea Blue from Baylis MG in Gloucester on Sat 4th Dec. The original delivery date I was given then was 28th March.

I popped in a couple of weeks ago as I was nearby and was told that the date hadn't changed.

My guess is that it'll be June-ish - hopefully I'm wrong and it's earlier than that.

You'd assume webuyanycar would be the lowest so that's quite surprising.
Having said that; what will they knock off when they inspect it?
 
I placed my order on December 14th. Emailed dealer yesterday hoping for some good news, but no change to the original March - April estimate ?

Yep, surprised me as well from previous experience. I'll be giving it a full showroom style valet before I take it. The paint work and upholstery have a Supacoat coating and that came with their cleaning products. :)

I’ve not had any price reductions - as long as you describe it using their guidelines. I’ve used Motorway too.
